Gameplay
edit
Baby Boomer left his crib and set out for the dangerous wilderness outside of his house.
As Boomer crawls across the screen toward numerous dangers, such as birds of prey and bottomless pits, the player uses the NES Zapper to shoot hazards before they hurt Boomer. Shooting birds kills them; shooting clouds makes them form ice bridges over pits. Levels include a graveyard, the "Pearly Gates" of heaven, and the pits of hell. Up to two players can participate simultaneously and use the controller along with the Zapper.
Release
editThis is the first game by Color Dreams. Like the company's other unlicensed games, rather than the typical grey NES cartridge, Baby Boomer is baby blue with a design altered to bypass Nintendo's 10NES copy protection system.
Sequel
editAfter 35 years since the release date an official sequel[2] to the video game released on August 16th 2024 titled "Baby Boomer 2: 35 Years Too Soon" developed by Kimulator's Films[3] released on PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5[4] and Epic Games Store[5]
The sequel was made in collaboration with Piko Interactive[6][7]
